i have a table that contains a column of Check boxes. in one of the forms i've made i need to create a button that removes the ticks from all the boxes in that column. does any one know a method that will do this.
I have a table that for some reason when I imported the data, placed some spaces before about 75% of the numbers in only one column. I need these numbers to be exactly the same as in another table because I use this number to compare to records and import other data depending on the corresponding numbers.
I tried doing a find and replace, but for some reason it doesn't find the spaces to replace. If I type in the space and the number, then in the replace with type only the number, it works. But I cannot do that since there are literally 10's of thousands of different numbers.
Someone mentioned a "LTRIM" command. Does this work within Access and if so, how does it work?
I have imported a table from Excel. The table contains a long list of names and there are quite a lot of duplicates. How do I remove the duplicates so I can import the clean list into a value list in Access ?
I do not want the look up table for my combo box to sort the data so that the drop down will show the data the the order I enter it. The table automatically sorts the data even with the Remove Sort feature. I added another column with numbers and sorted it to put my data in order which works in the table but the drop down still sorts it alphabetically which I assume is because my number column is not the bound column.
I am using DoCmd.TransferText to import a CSV file to a new table. The problem is some of the fields contain quotation marks which really messes things up for me later on. Is there some way I can go through the whole table and remove them?
I'm using a query to export a table to a text file, i.e.
SELECT * INTO [Text;HDR=No;Database=C:].[test#txt] FROM [TestTbl]
Text fields end up surrounded by double quotes as a text qualifier. Is there a property I can use to get rid of the text qualifier within the SQL (similar to how HDR=No gets rid of the headers)?
I've tried searching and guessing, but nothing has worked yet. Thanks!
I have a table called Stock Levels which contains 3 fields. (ID, ProductID, StockLevel) ID is the Pkey, ProductID contains duplicates and StockLevel which contains different stock levels
and I am trying to remove the duplicates and retain the the data so I am left with the correct stock number
what I have done is the following, but I am still getting duplicate values in productid and stocklevels
SELECT DISTINCTROW id, productid, stocklevel into mynewtable from stocklevels
I need to be able to run a number of queries where some of the queries are make-table queries. What I don't want is to have is all the messages that come up during the creation of the table ie deleting existing files and showing the number of records created to place in the file. Is there a way to block these messages?
We use a Database which has been constantly developed over 10 years using earlier versions of Access2003.We have Upgraded to Access 2013 and we are experiencing many conversion issues which I need to resolve.One key problem is that many of the earlier tables were developed with spaces in their names (Hindsight is a wonderful thing?). There are over 200 Tables that need changing. I would like to update the Table names replacing every "space" with an underscore"_". AT the same time I would also need to Update all of the QUERIES that use these particular Tables to be updated to reflect these changes made and still work as normal. I can do this manually but it will be very time consuming and perhaps someone has already had to do this when recently upgrading to Access 2013?
I have a report with 2 access tables (1 Master table and another a daily feed table)
The Master table keeps a log of all incoming records. (once append it to this table, should not show in future reporting)
The Daily feed information within the last 48 hours. (uploaded from an excel report into access temporary table)
When the daily feed table gets completed, I append the records and updated them into the Master to avoid duplication.
When I upload the daily feed table and I match it against the Master table to find duplicates, how can I delete the duplicates from the Daily Feed table?
This is my code to find duplicates:
SELECT CMPreport.ID, CMPreport.MbrName, tblMaster.ID FROM CMPreport LEFT JOIN tblMaster ON CMPreport.ID = tblMaster.ID WHERE (((tblMaster.ID) Is Not Null));

I have a form built with multiple buttons. Once the user clicks the button and enters their parameter, I am using VBA to export the data to an excel pivot table. I would like to turn the subtotals to false so as the user clicks the check boxes in the pivot there are not any totals, subtotals, or grand totals. I am not sure how to add that to an existing query?

I have a database that needs data to be reentered every school term, at the moment i am having to delete selected data fields manually. im looking to create a query so that the data is deleted by running it. The data would be returned to a blank field. I have tried using a delete query but it is asking for the selected table, even though a selected table exists. Using the update query i am faced with updating the query to a typed word however i just want it blank.
This application has worked fine in the past, but now I find it stops cold saying a particular linked table is read-only. I've looked around and all I can find in the various forums is how to MAKE a table read-only. Reversing that process seems very difficult.
The application is a copy of another that now exhibits the same problem. Each uses a different data mdb - part of the development I'm doing involves changing a different table. I'm developing changes to the application in this separate copy.
I can't tell if other tables would have this problem - the table in question is the very first used (initialization routine) and I can't get past it without deactivating a bunch of code.
When I copy data from Outlook or MS Word that contains bullets or other HTML formatted text, into MS Access text control, the HTML tags are displayed in the tables.
The memo field in the table is set to Rich Text and so is the text control on the form.
Below is an example of the data I'm copying from Outlook email:
